FORMULAS RELATING TO VELOCITY RATIO
Velocity Ratio (sometimes called movement ratio)- is defined as the ratio of the distance moved by the effort to the distance moved by the load. The formula seen below is best understood by writing it within a triangle. This helps when it is necessary to change the formula to find either; velocity ratio or the distance moved by the load or the distance moved by effort. In this way three formulas can be generated from the single formula inside the triangle.
